What to Include and Not Include in Your November Budget
November comes with plenty of expenses, from Thanksgiving and holiday shopping to travel and year-end giving. Jen and Jill walk through what to add to your November budget, what to plan for before the holidays, and what purchases you might want to hold off on until January.
The Insurance Review That Could Save You Money
Saving is not always fun, and it can be boring sometimes, but Jen and Jill walk through how to review your insurance policies, compare insurance costs, and make sure you have the right coverage for your current needs. From health, auto, and home insurance to life and disability insurance, they share practical tips for checking premiums, updating beneficiaries, and finding ways to save without sacrificing important protection. They also discuss options for flexible term life insurance as your life changes!
After all, they emphasize that you don’t need to overhaul every policy this weekend. Even reviewing one or two is progress.
It’s Thanksgiving season! What's one thing you're thankful for about each other?
Jen and Jill are grateful for each other’s strengths and how they complement one another. Even when they have opposing viewpoints, they respect each other’s perspectives and work together to find that radical middle.
